He’s not been the same player for over 2 years now and the decline could accelerate within a few monthsFernandinho’s 35, Aguero’s 33 soon and can’t keep fit, Mahrez and Gundogan are 30, KDB is 30 soon. I trust the board but I feel like we’re putting a lot of eggs into one basket when we have a lot of players to replace over the coming years. He won’t be the same player when he’s 36.
How much will Messi’s total contract cost? How much will it push wages up by? Will we really make a profit off increased sponsorships or will it benefit the Premiership more than us?
For OVER 2 years? Messi got the Ballon d’Or in 2019, didn’t he? And hit „double-double” by 20+ goals and 20+ assists in the 19/20 season (did anybody do that?)He’s not been the same player for over 2 years now and the decline could accelerate within a few months
Yep. And one is touted as the messiah, the other is over the hill and doesn’t even get in to a light jogPeople love spewing shite. He's got as many goal contributions *this season* as bruno fernandes!
That leaves out two of our current best players.We would play as we do now.
----------Haaland---Messi
--Foden-----de Bruyne-----Sterling
------------Rodri----Cancelo
--Zinchenko----Dias-----Stones
----------------Ederson
I don’t know if people remember a report from earlier in the season about how the club thought five or six players were “untouchable” but that for the rest they were willing to listen to offers next summer. So.That leaves out two of our current best players.
Edited all for a 100K & 2 freesWe would play as we do now.
----------Haaland---Messi
--Foden-----de Bruyne-----Sterling
------------Rodri----Cancelo
--ALABA----Dias-----Stones
----------------Ederson
They’ve not, but this is a unique situation. I just hope the numbers make sense.
What if we signed Haaland and Messi said ‘I want to play false 9’? Do we say no?
Rotation. That's just one possible 11.That leaves out two of our current best players.
